On 9th March it was 5 years since I brought my two gorgeous boys home, so with the help of samwiseg and her instructions, I ordered an A FRAME from Karen at, www.naturalbirdco.co.uk. It took a wee while to make, but arrived last Wednesday, needless to say, NO ONE HAS GONE NEAR IT I have tried to tempt them with their favourite foods, and also millet, but still neither of them has had the courage to land on it

Always the case, you buy all these flipping things and they don't touch them. Give Jo my Ipad and she chews the case to bits.

Happy home-coming boys. Always the way - do something good for them and they won't touch it.

I bought a tabletop perch with balsa wood etc to shred from the natural bird company 2 years ago for Squawk and Chirpy and they barely went near it and neither does Impy. I hope you have more success with your boys jellybean and they learn to love their present which looks great

Maybe in the next few weeks when the wild grasses are ready to pick, I'll get some and hang that up, they love that stuff.....SURELY that should tempt them 😀
I promised Karen some pictures when the boys used it.....hope she's not holding her breath 🤣🤣

Judging by some of Karen's FB posts, I think she is very used to some recipients being less than enthusiastic about their gifts.

That’s beautiful! I hope they venture near it....eventually! Brodie got an amazing playgym from them (we were very kindly gifted a voucher for 1 for a special birthday last year) & while he bravely was on it within minutes & spends a lot of every day playing on it, over 3 months on, there are still some areas that are a no go, although he is starting to branch out a bit now. Budgies are very strange creatures aren’t they?! 😀

You're telling me starrymist 😉 I thought I'd cracked it this afternoon, I put some wet Basil on it and they went nuts wondering how to get to the Basil without landing on the frame 🤣 Needless to say they gave up 😕
